At the meeting, the majority of delegates agreed with the necessity of promulgating the law, and assessed that the draft law dossier was in accordance with legal regulations and qualified to be submitted to the National Assembly Standing Committee for consideration and comments, and submitted to the National Assembly at the 10th Session.

Some opinions say that the draft law has ensured constitutionality and basically ensured consistency with the legal system. However, the content of the draft law is related to 10 specialized laws that need to be amended and supplemented, focusing on amending the content related to the arrangement of the apparatus and the two-level local government. Therefore, it is recommended to carefully review the provisions of the draft law to ensure consistency in technical documents after merging with the amended and supplemented laws.
